absolutely not! Avoid like the plague.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would say yes. I am 78 and while range of motion for my age is good, I do have minor arthritic issues. This device has an excellence scroll, and the ration of movement seem a little better than most.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My mother also has arthritis and has trouble using a computer mouse. Unfortunately I have not found a mouse that is appreciably better than any other mouse when it comes to users with arthritis. It takes a certain level of dexterity to click or click and hold a mouse button while also moving the mouse. All mice require this action and therefore the Logitech MX mouse is no better than others in this regard. You might want to consider a track ball device where the cursor is moved by rolling a ball with your thumb instead of moving a mouse. This might result in less demand on the hand.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would think it would it's a little larger then a regular mouse fits pretty comfy in the hand!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would say it is like most other handheld mouses. I might recommend a ball mouse if you have not already tried. Either using your thumb or the ones that you can use your pointer and middle finger. And always use a wrist rest. Hope that helps!
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The mouse is an ergonomic design that should help alleviate stress in the hands. The keyboard that came with the mouse has a curved ergonomic design to help alleviate stress on the shoulders and wrists from working long periods at the computer. Its the only kind I use. The built in wrist rest should help you. This keyboard design is much better that the straight flat keyboard. Hope this helps you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have arthritis also and have no problem with this mouse. I do use a wrist rest, though. I use the mouse for hours a day and do not have any issues.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think that it should work well. It moves very smoothly without having to bend your wrist. My hand rests on the mouse very comfortably. Right and left clicks can be accomplished by just pressing down lightly with the index and middle finger. The only flexing of the index finger required is to rotate the wheel which requires very little effort.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I used it for Photoshop and Illustrator, did not notice any lags/approximation/fuzziness.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
